Chatri seems very shady. He over turns the winners in grand Prix tournaments.

Have you seen how the UFC handles demands for money?
Van Zandt is basic to them. She does have a name that some fans know, but she is in no position to demand an increase.  She is 2/5 and that doesnt scream pay raise to me.

 she's been on the same pay since her first ufc fight. She's definitely more known and popular now so yes she should make more money.
I believe she gets $46,000 a fight. Should be getting a hundred grand a fight.

Yan vs Aldo

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 4 Perfect, 580 Points   |   Tied for 1538th

Does Jose Aldo still have the heart to go five rounds with a young killer like petr yan, who has a great gas tank? 

In my opinion, the answer to this question is going to decide the fight.

Tybura vs. Grishin
Marcin Tybura, TKO, R2
i thought jordan johnson got robbed in BOTH of his 2 pfl fights against maxim - and he was a middleweight fighting a light heavyweight at 205. pretty sure tybura is going to be too big & strong for this guy on short notice even if tybura isn't anything special

Agree agree and yep I got Volk too he is great odd his resume doesnt have lot of ass kickers on it.
Unless Max can 90 punch combo him like ortega I expect the same maybe volk ko doubt it.
He is very careful and max has 0 kos red on his ledger against better or at least harder hitters.

****, that was the one I was most pumped for. Oh well, still a great card. Wonder if Usman fights then? Almost certainly not
